mass
The amount of matter in an object is made up of
nucleus
protons plus neutrons
electrons
negative particles, moving around the outside of the nucleus
Element
A collection of atoms with the same numbers of protons
isotopes
A collection of atoms with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons
molecules
chemicals that result from atoms linking together
ionic bonds
metals plus nonmetals
covalent bonds
nonmetals plus nonmetals
hydrogen bonds
hydrogen bonding to either oxygen or nitrogen
physical change
generally reversible, molecules keep their characteristics
Chemical change
not reversible, molecules give up their characteristics to form a new chemical
solution
solvent plus solute
solvent
largest portion, liquid or gas
solute
substance being dissolved
concentration
how much solute is in the solution
Diffusion
molecular movement from high solute concentration to low
osmosis
solvent travels toward high solute concentrations
semi permeable membrane
allows some molecules in, keep some molecules out
organic molecule
contains carbon plus hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, S, P
in organic molecules
do not contain carbon, water, salt, acids, bases
biosynthesis
A living organism makes a substance
carbohydrates
carbon plus water molecule
monosaccharides
carbohydrate with 3–10 carbon atoms
glucose
fructose
disaccharides
carbohydrates made up of two monosaccharides
sucrose
polysaccharides
carbohydrates made up of three or more monosaccharides
starch
cellulose
